DeVore Orangutan O/96

I agree on the price---its direct competitor is the Audio Note right? which are more like 8k?

The AN-E/SPe HE is a great speaker for the right room, and last time I looked they were still under 8K. The AN-E only has an 8" bass driver, and the excitement regarding the Orangutan is that 10" SEAS woofer. John also told me that the Orangutans are less sensitive to placement than the Audio Notes, which is a big deal for me since my system is positioned along a long wall that doesn't have a corner on one side.

Lowens, I have not heard the 0/96's, but I plan on doing so soon. Sorry for the confusion, what you read was me repeating
what Jetrexpro had said.

Amazing how you guys can make judgements on something you have not heard. I heard them at CES, and they were simply wonderful.

KeithR-
Many Audio Note speakers are well over the price of the orangutan, by the way.

Kharl- I'm not sure what offended you by my post and I'm sure they sound great (I actually looked into them before purchasing Zus a year ago). I just think they are pricy for a 2 way. Sorry.
